In the same campaign actor Alex Hassell takes on James Norton's portrayal of a sexy Santa creating playful competition. Separately Knightley's iconic green dress from the film Atonement is listed for sale sparking collector interest. Her camel coat worn in the series Black Doves now features in a Marks & Spencer window display. Knightley also remarks that Love Actually doesn't mean much to her because she hasn't viewed it since its premiere and doesn't remember the film.
